I took my unicycle in to have the seat stem cut down because my legs were too short to reach the pedals. I called before hand and let him know that I wasn't sure if I could make it before closing. I ride in a car pool after work and sometimes my ride runs late. Felipe was very accommodating and said that he would wait up if I was running behind. He was able to cut it down to size right then and there and I was able to take it home immediately. I had gone to another bike shop location before this and had a bad experience- they told me it would take at least a week or two to do the job that Felipe did in less than 5 minutes for around 5 bucks. My boyfriend might even take his old rusted bike in to have it restored. Once you find a good bike shop, you wanna stick with it. Overall, I had a good experience with this shop- the customer service was top-notch, the owner seemed very knowledgeable and passionate about his business, and I would recommend!

I had two people recommend that I take my bike into Pennyfarthings. But I'm a Yelp fanatic and I never go anywhere new anymore without checking out the Yelp ratings first. Unfortunately, this place only had one previous review and it's bad. Uh oh. I decided that two friend's opinions outranked an anonymous one on the web, so I would give it a shot (but was still a bit nervous).
I always take my bike to the Trek Superstore for work. But lately they haven't been fixing it like I want and some of the repair guys were contradicting each other's opinions on basic stuff. I haven't been happy. So I tried Pennyfarthing. Trek store was quoting me $150 for replacing various parts and I was charged $93 at Pennyfarthing for the same thing. Sweet. He was a nice guy and did good work. He also saw that the Trek store was adjusting my cables incorrectly and he re-tuned them.
Oh yeah - he also did everything on the same day I brought it in. Last time I was at Trek they told me it would be one week for repairs and I ended up getting in two weeks (only after harassing them about how long I've been waiting on it). I'll be going back to Pennyfarthing. -

After owning and wrenching on several bikes within a short period of time, I have had enough insight to recognize that newer bikes dont always mean better. The pennyfarthing dude seems like a nice honest guy who knows his shit. Go here for maintenance if you live nearby. Go here to check out his historic bike collection. Cool place, cool shop, cool dude.

I could not dodge a pothole on 5th Ave. downtown and had a nasty crash. 5th rates right up there as is one of San Diego's most potted streets, at least on the right where you bike. The crash bent my derailleur hanger big time and could barely get my wheel off. I was about to pack it in and take a cab home when someone told me about Pennyfarthing's bike store on C street. Wow, what service! Felipe dropped what he was doing, straighten the frame, fixed the chain and adjusted everything. I am back on the street (being more alert for potholes) in about 15 minutes. Very reasonable price too. Great to have an old style bike store downtown.

I bought a bike from the owner/operator of this shop a few years back. I've been very happy with the bike and I know I got a good deal. He's a very knowledgeable and helpful guy who will go out of his way to make sure you're happy. I've been to countless bike shops....some good, some just OK and some I'll never give my business to again. This is a great little shop run by a solid guy. I do recommend this shop! Thanks for all you help Felipe!!!
